Your day-to-day
What gets in the way today
Builds too heavy for everything else
A game build runs to dozens of gigabytes: email refuses, drives fill up, and the studio loses hours splitting files.
Assets scattered across vendors
3D outsourcing, audio, localization, QA: every partner exchanges through their own channel, and nobody knows which version is authoritative.
The leak before the announcement
A trailer or press build circulating before the embargo, and the announcement is burned — with no idea where the leak came from.
With TransferNow
Your workflow, in three steps
- 1
Send the builds
The build goes out as is — ZIP or complete folder, directory tree intact, up to 500 GB in one link. The publisher or QA downloads without an account.
- 2
Receive partner deliverables
One drop link per project: outsourcing studios, composers, and testers upload their files without an account, and every upload is notified to you.
- 3
Deliver to the press under embargo
Password on the download, limited availability window, named tracking: you know which outlet picked up the build, and when.
Built for you
Video games: the features that matter
500 GB
Sized for modern games
Up to 5 GB per transfer for free and 500 GB with an account: builds, asset packages, and texture libraries go out in one link.
Password
The embargo holds
Password on the download, SSL/TLS-encrypted transfer, controlled link lifespan, and immediate deactivation — the press build stays under control.
Tracking
Who downloaded what, and when
A named notification at every download: the access history of a sensitive build is documented.
Drop link
Partners deliver without accounts
Outsourcing, audio, localization: one drop link per project centralizes deliverables, with no FTP and no credentials to hand out.
Desktop apps
Heavy uploads, made reliable
The Windows, macOS, and Linux apps keep the upload running in the background — the nightly build goes out while the studio sleeps.

And against WeTransfer?
A build exceeds WeTransfer’s free 3 GB by the alpha stage — and between publisher, QA, and press, 10 monthly transfers don’t last a week in a studio. The numbers opposite speak for themselves.

Frequently asked questions
How do I send a build of several dozen GB?
Drag in the ZIP or the complete folder: up to 5 GB for free and 500 GB with an account, directory tree intact. The desktop apps keep the upload reliable in the background.
How do I protect a press build under embargo?
Password on the download, limited availability window, named download tracking, and link deactivation at any time — access stays under your control.
How do we receive assets from our partner studios?
One drop link per project: each partner uploads their deliverables from a simple browser, with no account to create and no FTP, and every identified upload is notified to you.
Are files modified or recompressed during the transfer?
No: ZIPs, executables, textures, and videos travel without the slightest alteration — the hash of the received build is identical to the one you sent.
Is there a plan for the whole studio team?
Yes: the Team plan bundles 10 centrally administered accounts, with branding in the studio’s image; the Enterprise plan goes further (SSO, dedicated domain).
